Q. Antonio has the following data:\newline14,r,13,3,914, r, 13, 3, 9\newlineIf the median is 99, which number could rr be?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)(A)1717\newline(B)(B)33
  1. Understand Problem and Data: Step 11: Understand the problem and the data given.\newlineAntonio has these numbers: 1414, rr, 1313, 33, 99. We need to find the value of rr such that the median of these numbers is 99.
  2. Arrange Numbers for Median: Step 22: Arrange the numbers in ascending order to find the median.\newlineSince the median is 99, and there are 55 numbers, 99 must be the third number in the sorted list. This means two numbers must be less than 99 and two must be greater than 99.
  3. Analyze Choices for rr: Step 33: Analyze the choices given for rr. Choices are (A) 1717 and (B) 33. If r=17r = 17, the sorted list would be 3,9,13,14,173, 9, 13, 14, 17, making 1313 the median, which is incorrect.
  4. Check Second Choice: Step 44: Check the second choice for rr.\newlineIf r=3r = 3, the sorted list would be 3,3,9,13,143, 3, 9, 13, 14. Here, 99 is correctly positioned as the median.
